Summer Renovations Around the Mount

Trees added to Picnic Grounds

As students and staff return to the Mount they are discovering
that some renovations have been occurring. Some new trees have been planted just south of
the school to expand the reach of the picnic grounds. Of course it will take a few years before
they provide much shade but in time they will greatly improve the space. North of the school the soccer field has been
widened and reseeded. On the north side
of the track where an old freezer was used for athletic storage a new athletic
storage building has been built. The
upper floor of the new building will provide filming and score keeping space
for the renovated soccer field. The
Michaeleen/Development Office has received a face lift with the porch being
rebuilt and sod and a sprinkler system was installed.

Inside the school the freshman deans living and office space
has been expanded and renovated. As a
result the library made a few renovations that have allowed for the consolidating
of the fiction section into one area and the rearrangement of the computer and
magazine areas. Four new computer
stations have also been added. Because
of the growing enrollment an additional room dorm room has been added on the
top floor. The main entrance to the
school is also being redone inside to provide better security and hospitality
for guests.

Building Constructed on Athletic Fields

Near the Abbey a garage is being constructed to house the
Abbey and school vehicles. Construction
will begin in August with a November 1st completion date. This will allow the current garage, which is
attached the gym, to be renovated into a new weight room at a future date.

A special thanks to everyone who assisted with the renovations
and help prepare the Mount for the upcoming school year. More Photos
